Los Angeles, November 11, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Actor and comedian Nick Cannon has opened up about signing a prenuptial agreement before marrying singer Mariah Carey, saying he had no reservations about the arrangement and believes it ultimately protected both of them.
Cannon discussed the agreement during an appearance on the On Par with Maury Povich podcast, explaining that he understood why Carey, given her business interests and global profile, wanted to safeguard her assets.
“Mariah Carey, her entity, her global conglomerate is gonna make sure she is protected. I had no problem with it whatsoever,” he said.
Describing the agreement as a straightforward arrangement, Cannon said it protected whatever either of them owned before their marriage. He added that the process was easy and, in retrospect, beneficial to both sides.
Carey and Cannon married at her private estate on Windermere Island in April 2008. They separated in 2014, and their divorce was finalised in 2016.
Cannon said the experience of ending a marriage had made him reluctant to take wedding vows again. He described the process as lengthy and emotionally draining, although he stressed that his separation from Carey did not become contentious.
He said the difficulties associated with divorce could potentially affect how former partners relate to each other, even when they want to remain friends.
Cannon, however, said he and Carey had made a conscious effort to preserve their relationship and maintain a close family bond for their children. The former couple share fraternal twins, Moroccan and Monroe, who are 15.
He said they had handled their separation amicably, with neither of them speaking negatively about the other. According to Cannon, their priority was to put their children first and maintain a healthy relationship after the marriage.
The comedian said he remained grateful that he and the five-time Grammy-winning singer continued to be close and communicate regularly.
